The True Importance of Spaying and Neutering

Is your pet spayed or neutered? They should be! It’s one of the best things you’ll ever do for your animal companion’s health and wellness. Learn why here from a Marietta, GA vet:

Medical Benefits

Pets who have been spayed or neutered run virtually no risk of developing genital cancers. The chance of prostate, breast, or other cancer types developing is also drastically reduced. Even UTIs and other common ailments aren’t as likely to occur. What’s not to love?

Behavioral Benefits

Pets behave far, far better when they’ve been spayed or neutered. You’ll save yourself the hassles of house soiling, urine spraying, escape attempts, digging, chewing, scratching, loud vocalizations, aggression toward owners or other pets, and much more. At the very least, these problems won’t be as severe.

The Greater Good

Of course, spaying and neutering has a broader benefit: it reduces the population of homeless pets, which is already staggering. Don’t contribute to the millions of pets who go homeless or must be euthanized every year—have your pet spayed or neutered early on in their life.
